Ajax Cape Town will be heading to Bidvest Stadium looking for their first win of the Absa Premiership season when they take on Bidvest Wits on Friday evening, kick-off at 8pm.
The Urban Warriors have had a stuttering start to the 2013/14 season so far, having drawn their opening match to Golden Arrows before suffering a defeat to an impressive AmaZulu side.
Now, they will have to come up against an even more in-form Wits side who sit sixth on the log and fresh off a 1-0 win over Golden Arrows.
Ajax midfielder, Travis Graham, predicts that the encounter against the Braamfontein outfit will be no easy task and that Gavin Hunt’s hunger for success gives them a cutting edge.
“I think it is going to be quite a difficult game against Wits because they have all the experienced guys like Matthew Booth who knows us. So it is going to be a challenging game for us,” said the young talent.
“What gives Wits the edge? It is their will to win. Gavin Hunt doesn’t necessarily like to play our type of football, but he likes to get the ball into the box and finish the game by scoring goals. I think that is his plan against us.”
Similar to last season, the first three points continue to elude the Urban Warriors, but Graham feels that once they have it in the bag, the positive results will begin to flood in.
“It is hard and obviously we need to get that first win. After that first win we will be more comfortable and confident so, for us as players, we have to push ourselves more and do our best,” concluded Graham.
Hunt’s steering of the reins at the university club has managed to get off to a positive start where he has added an exciting mix of promising youth in and among his predominantly experienced line-up.
Bhongolwethu Jayiya believes it is still too early to judge how their campaign will pan out, but believes having played more than Ajax already this season will give them a slight advantage.
“It is too early to say how the season will go, but it is work in progress. Time will tell, we will take one game at a time,” he says.
“We have played a few games more than Ajax so I think we will be sharper than them. And when those early opportunities come we will have to take them and grind out a result.
“Ajax are a good side and anything is possible with them. We just have to make sure we go out there, play our natural game and focus on ourselves.
“The objective is three points.
